Notes

The Orchestral Tubular Bells was recorded on the Manor Mobile in 1974.

This Orchestral arrangement of Tubular Bells was more David Bedford's project than Mike's. Although this album is credited to Mike Oldfield, he only plays guitar on Part Two.

David Bedford also orchestrated Hergest Ridge, and both pieces were performed many times in concert (some of which were recorded), but The Orchestral Hergest Ridge was never released (see Rare Tracks).
